9. Idle Animals
Resources used to raise or maintain cattle
and water buffalo are affected by the
number of idle animals in the global herd.
Idle animals are cattle or water buffalo that
are not growing, not producing dairy, not
pregnant and not being used for draft work.
Farmers and ranchers may choose to
maintain idle cattle for reasons beyond
beef production, including breeding stock
potential, cultural beliefs or socio-economic
factors.

Annual Environmental Consequence of
Adding One More Milking Cow
• For survival nutrition (maintenance) of the cow, her heifer replacement and part of
a bull required to breed her
• Does not include the nutritional requirements for the milk production; that is a
constant regardless of number of cows
• Range due primarily to size of the cow
• Summary
– Feed: +10 to 12.5 MT
– Land: +2.1 to 2.2 acres
– Water for animal consumption: +233,000 to 423,000 gal
• Equivalent to 0.40 to 0.75 U.S. Households
– Greenhouse gas emission (GHG): +8.7 to 12.8 MT
• Equivalent to 1.8 to 2.7 automobiles
– Manure production: +12.2 to 20.4 MT
• Equivalent to sewage from 75 to 110 people

11. Cultural
Considerations
In India, many people regard cows as
sacred animals and do not raise cattle for
beef consumption.
Instead, some cattle may roam freely with
minimal human intervention and could live
for
10 years to 15 years.
In these regions, improving beef
production may need to be more specific to
water buffalo.

18. Considerations for
Improving Beef
Production
Farming best practices and innovations
can contribute to
the improved efficiency of global beef
production.
When discussing beef production, we must
also consider a variety of factors that
influence how farmers and ranchers
assess the value of cattle and water
buffalo, including idle animals, cultural
differences, and social and economic
considerations.

8 Point Plan Recap
Act with responsibility globally.
Cease marketing of growth promotion
uses for shared-class antibiotics by the end
of 2016.
Help customers eliminate continuous
use of shared-class antibiotics for therapy
purposes by providing an alternative.
Eliminate over-the-counter sales of
shared-class antibiotics where oversight
exists.
Eliminate concurrent use of shared-class
antibiotics to treat the same disease.
Support veterinary oversight,
including helping build infrastructure
globally.
Develop new animal-only antibiotics.
Create alternatives. Invest in non-antibiotic
solutions where there are few, or no,
alternatives to shared-class antibiotics.
29. Social & Economic
Considerations
In some regions, socio-economic and
political factors limit access to and trust
in banking systems that are common in
developed countries.
Families may purchase and maintain
cattle and other livestock for many
years as a way to save money instead
of keeping cash.
Cattle or their calves may then be
traded or sold as needed.
Improving beef production may be
secondary to helping improve the socio-
economic and political landscape.

31. Health Benefits of Beef." Beef Bytes #1. National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Accessed Oct. 16,, 2014
Beef is a good source of iron,
B12 and protein.
Cattle and water buffalo
consume grasses and plant
matter humans cannot
digest, and graze on land
that cannot be cultivated for
human foods.
Benefits of Beef
2007 was when Livestock’s Long Shadow was published and 2011 was the first publication of FAO’s first predictions of global demand for livestock protein. The 2011 forecasts were updated in 2012 which were used to reference this slide. As you can see for the bridge proteins, consumption actually exceeds the predictions. The impact of the middle class is being felt now. We cannot wait until the future. FAO does not publish egg demand estimates
A leading indicator of supply: demand, the population growth line does not account for increasing middle class and growth in per capita consumption. Will examine individual proteins in more detail in later charts.
Protein supply has been increasing faster than the population indicating the world is responding to increased demand
However, the general trend in protein rate of growth is downward and it appears as though it could drop below the rate in growth of the global population meaning we could be heading for a further shortage of accessible protein
Dip in 2009 protein production growth rate is most probably due to the worldwide recession. Protein supply growth is recovering but has not reached pre-recession rates of growth
Slide used to defend why we are tracking the 5 major sources of land-based animal source protein: Pork, Cattle beef, Cattle milk, Chicken, and Chicken eggs instead of all animals source species. These 5 account for 88% of all animal source protein and thus serve as sentinel (benchmark) species to track production impacts. See definition of total source species below
Poultry includes: Chicken, Turkey, Goose, Duck, Guinea Fowl
Ovine includes: Sheep & Goat
Milk includes: Cattle, Water Buffalo, Goat, Sheep, Camel
Beef includes: Cattle & Water Buffalo
Other includes: Horse, Mule, Camel, Rabbit, Rodent, Nesting birds, Nes, other Camelids (e.g.. Llama)
Why do we need more animal protein anyway? This chart illustrates the importance of proper nutrition on a child’s development. A landmark study in Kenya compared changes in test scores for school children over five school terms.
The children’s diets were supplemented with energy from oils, milk or meat. You’ll notice that scores went up dramatically for the meat and milk groups, but fell for the group being fed a mix of maize and beans and greens with some added oil for the control group.
This study confirms the positive impact of the quality of calories in the diet, not just the quantity of calories. This shows why it’s critical we meet increased demand.
1. Knapp, J. and Cady, R. Elanco Animal Health. 2013 Food Forward Report. 2013.
No single approach will increase the global supply of beef while freezing the environmental footprint. To achieve these results, we must provide farmers and ranchers around the world with improved access to the full suite of farming best practices and innovations.
Cattle and water buffalo that are raised on grazing lands only may experience periods of time when they have insufficient nutrients, which slows their growth.
This slide provides one example demonstrating how improved nutrition can impact steer growth. Bulls, female cattle, dairy cattle and water buffalo have different rates of growth.
For presenters: Grazed forage typically consists of plant matter humans cannot consume such as grasses and post-harvest field residue (e.g. corn stalks, wheat straw, etc.).
For presentation in the United States, the conversion from metric to Imperial measurements is as follows:
13.1 billion metric tonnes = 14.4 billion tons
18.7 billion metric tonnes = 20.6 billion tons
5.76 trillion liters = 1.52 trillion gallons
8.23 trillion liters = 2.16 billion gallons
For presenters: Grazed forage typically consists of plant matter humans cannot consume such as grasses and post-harvest field residue (e.g. corn stalks, wheat straw, etc.).
These savings reflect the difference between utilizing today’s farming practices and innovations in 2050 (frozen innovation) versus utilizing continued innovation in 2050. The results of utilizing continued innovation are significant resources savings.
With continued innovation, we’ll need less than 1.7 billion cattle and water buffalo. That’s 40 percent fewer cattle and water buffalo compared to continuing to use today’s farming practices in 2050.
And we’ll be able to produce 43 percent more beef than we produce today while using 43 percent less forage and grazing land, and 43 percent less water as compared to frozen innovations.
